Milk and Cream Products Plant
Convicted at Brainerd
Three Montenegrins, who resided at Crosby, were on Saturday convicted of arson in district court at Brainerd, through evidence furnished by Deputy State Fire Marshals W. T-Tcurtillott and L. D. Connelly.
Last August a rooming house in Crosby caught fire, the blaze being extinguished before much damage was done. The state fire marshal�s office was notified and th.e two deputies were sent up there. They found that at the time of the fire th.e place had been set in six different bed rooms at the same time. The perpetrators, however, had a poor knowledge of the ways of flames. The fires had been set off in (he different rooms and then the doors were closed. The flames getting no draft, gradually smothered out. A few days later an attempt was made to fire th.e same building. Arrests were made, and three men named M. Vickvich, Sam Jacovich and
B. Roganovich, were taken in the net. Their case came up for trial last week with Sam Alderman as prosecuting attorney. The case went to the jury at 5 o�clock Saturday afternoon and after -being out five hours a verdict of guilty was returned.
$50 Per Month For Old Soldiers
Old soldiers, sailors and marinea who served in the Civil war -will probably very soon get an increase in pension to at least $5o a month, with larger payments to those who were disabled in line of duty or who are now helpless or blind.
The Fuller general pension bill which passed the house of representatives on Jan. 5 by a vote of 231 to 55, is now awaiting action by the senate. The bill provides a minimum pension of $50 a month -for each old soldier, and another bill is awaiting introduction which will make the pension payable monthly instead of every three months as at present. The Fuller bill also provides for an increase of $5 a month to old soldiers� widows, making the pension for them $30 a month instead of $25, the present amount.
The National Tribune, a weekly newspaper published at Washington in the interests of the old soldiers, in commenting on the bill states that during the interim between the time the bill was introduced in September, 1919, and the time it passed the house over 10,000 of the Civil war veterans had passed away, and no doubt before- the senate acts on the bill and the president signs it, making it a law, another 5,000 vyll have died, so that quick action is desired on the bill in order to benefit as many of the old soldiers as possible.
M. N. Cadwell who is in the hospital at Little Falls writes that he expects his discharge about Feb. 1st. He says five mouths hospital life is a plenty for him.
From Little Falls Transcript:
Machinery has been purchased and the work of preparing a building has been started for a milk condensing, and ice cream and butter manufacturing plant for Little Falls on a large scale. Supplies will also be manufactured from milk for confectioners, candy makers, ice cream makers and bakers.
The Kiewel Associated Products company has taken over all the assets of the Jac. Kiewel Brewing ccmpany, including the large brewery plant on Seventh street northeast, and will remodel the building for the purposes stated above. The three floors of the south half of the brewery will be devoted to the condensing of milk, ice cream making and the manufacture of butter. The north half of the building will be utilized for the manufacture of cereal beverages.
Under present plans it is believed that the new plant will be in operation by May 1, of this year, at least 60 days being required for the installation of the machinery necessary. Officers of the company state that only the very latest machinery has been purchased in order to give this territory one of the best plants of its kind in the country. The venture is not entirely new to the m.en in charge as the same persons are interested in two plants of a like nature, one at Crookston and one at Thief River Falls.
15,000 Cows Will Be Needed
A close estimate by experts has brought to light that nearly 15,000 dairy cows will be needed to keep the local plant running to full capacity. A survey of the territory that will furnish the supply has given evidence that that number of cows will be reached.
Whole Milk to Be Bought
Unlike a creamery the new plant will buy whole milk and all I separating be done at the plant. For condensing purposes whole milk is needed and it is claimed that the price is far in advance of that paid for butterfat.
Agencies to Be Established
Cream stations will be opened at points not immediately adjacent to the city and the local plant will act as a centralize!' for the territory.
If you want to sell your farm now is the time to list it and be sure to have it sold JOS. H. GRELL, Adv.32t. Pierz, Minn.

Bed Cross Work and Liberty Loan Data
The new atlas ot Morrison county which is in course of construction at this time will have features heretofore not included in any work gotten out locally. These features will consist of a complete resume of the work done by the Red Cross and the Liberty Loan committees during the war.
Mrs. R. L. Cochrane, Miss Geneva Heath and Warren Gibson compiled the work of the Red Cross for the Atlas and R. B. Millard and W. E. Olson furnished data on these actiy-ities and the publishers of the atlas have gone to the extra expence of including it in their book.
Forest Fuel tor Empty Goal Bins
To relieve as far as possible the serious fuel crisis that has existed in the West, as elsewhere, the Forest Service, with the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture, lias authorized the district foresters to cooperate fully with all local and State fuel a dministrators by making available at once all wood and fuel material. Waiver of all restricture regulations has been authorized. This means, for instance, that on forests where no green material has been gi anted under free use, such material has been made available to prevent suffering or hardship; also that free-use material has been made generally available, and that the question of residence of permittee or his qualifications is not the governing factor in issuing a permit.
This action of the Forest Service, it is belieyed, will do much to relieve the serious conditions existing in regions deprived of bituminous coal

SENATE TO HEAR SIMS' CHARGES
Full Inquiry Into Navy�s Conduct of War Is Ordered By

Washington.�Charges of Rear Ad-; miral Sims that the Navy department j failed to co-operate fully with the Al- I ties during the great war will be in-; vestigated by the Senate subcommittee | before which they were made. Tins was decided by the full naval committee which also authorized appointment of another sub-committee to determine whether there should be an inquiry Into charges made by John R. Rathom, , editor of the Providence (R. I.) Journal, that �with the knowledge of Secretary Daniels, many seamen in the navy have been used for most vile and nameless practices in order to entrap Innocent men.�
While the Senate committee was in session Secretary Daniels announced that Admiral Sims would be called on to make good his charges either before the Senate or a naval board.
Present Inquiry to Continue.
Inquiry into Admiral Sims� charges will not be started by the Senate subcommittee until its present investigation of naval decorations is completed, which probably will be within 10 days. That investigation was continued with Admiral Sims concluding his testimony. Rear Admiral Mayo, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet during the war, wil be called later.
The full naval committee met in executive session. Senator Pittman, Democrat of Nevada, sought to have the entire committee conduct the inquiry into Admiral Sims� allegations, but Senator Lodge, Republican, Massachusetts, objected on the ground that the committee was too busy with other pressing matters. Senator Pittman then sought to have a special sub-committee appointed, but his motion was defeated.
Declaring that when all the facts were laid bare the country would be proud of the navy�s record in the war, Mr. Daniels said Admiral Sims �must be required to establish every criticism he has made of the department.�
"When the smoke blows away,� the secretary continued, �I am confident that the people will see that the naval admiinstration has been efficient.�

The Fuller bill also provides for an increase of $5 a month to old soldiers� widows, making the pension for them $30 a month instead of $25, the present amount.
The National Tribune, a weekly newspaper published at Washington in the interests of the old soldiers, in commenting on the bill states that during the interim between the time the bill was introduced in September, 1919, and the time it passed the house over 10,000 of the Civil war veterans had passed away, and no doubt before- the senate acts on the bill and the president signs it, making it a law, another 5,000 vyll have died, so that quick action is desired on the bill in order to benefit as many of the old soldiers as possible.
M. N. Cadwell who is in the hospital at Little Falls writes that he expects his discharge about Feb. 1st. He says five mouths hospital life is a plenty for him.
From Little Falls Transcript:
Machinery has been purchased and the work of preparing a building has been started for a milk condensing, and ice cream and butter manufacturing plant for Little Falls on a large scale. Supplies will also be manufactured from milk for confectioners, candy makers, ice cream makers and bakers.
The Kiewel Associated Products company has taken over all the assets of the Jac. Kiewel Brewing ccmpany, including the large brewery plant on Seventh street northeast, and will remodel the building for the purposes stated above. The three floors of the south half of the brewery will be devoted to the condensing of milk, ice cream making and the manufacture of butter. The north half of the building will be utilized for the manufacture of cereal beverages.
Under present plans it is believed that the new plant will be in operation by May 1, of this year, at least 60 days being required for the installation of the machinery necessary. Officers of the company state that only the very latest machinery has been purchased in order to give this territory one of the best plants of its kind in the country. The venture is not entirely new to the m.en in charge as the same persons are interested in two plants of a like nature, one at Crookston and one at Thief River Falls.
15,000 Cows Will Be Needed
A close estimate by experts has brought to light that nearly 15,000 dairy cows will be needed to keep the local plant running to full capacity. A survey of the territory that will furnish the supply has given evidence that that number of cows will be reached.
Whole Milk to Be Bought
Unlike a creamery the new plant will buy whole milk and all I separating be done at the plant. For condensing purposes whole milk is needed and it is claimed that the price is far in advance of that paid for butterfat.
Agencies to Be Established
Cream stations will be opened at points not immediately adjacent to the city and the local plant will act as a centralize!' for the territory.

Bed Cross Work and Liberty Loan Data
The new atlas ot Morrison county which is in course of construction at this time will have features heretofore not included in any work gotten out locally. These features will consist of a complete resume of the work done by the Red Cross and the Liberty Loan committees during the war.
Mrs. R. L. Cochrane, Miss Geneva Heath and Warren Gibson compiled the work of the Red Cross for the Atlas and R. B. Millard and W. E. Olson furnished data on these actiy-ities and the publishers of the atlas have gone to the extra expence of including it in their book.
Forest Fuel tor Empty Goal Bins
To relieve as far as possible the serious fuel crisis that has existed in the West, as elsewhere, the Forest Service, with the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture, lias authorized the district foresters to cooperate fully with all local and State fuel a dministrators by making available at once all wood and fuel material. Waiver of all restricture regulations has been authorized. This means, for instance, that on forests where no green material has been gi anted under free use, such material has been made available to prevent suffering or hardship; also that free-use material has been made generally available, and that the question of residence of permittee or his qualifications is not the governing factor in issuing a permit.
This action of the Forest Service, it is belieyed, will do much to relieve the serious conditions existing in regions deprived of bituminous coal

SENATE TO HEAR SIMS' CHARGES
Full Inquiry Into Navy�s Conduct of War Is Ordered By
Committee. !
PROBE IS TO BE DEEP
Daniels Assumes Offensive and Declares He Is Ready For Most Thorough Investigation�Present Inquiry to Continue.
Washington.�Charges of Rear Ad-; miral Sims that the Navy department j failed to co-operate fully with the Al- I ties during the great war will be in-; vestigated by the Senate subcommittee | before which they were made. Tins was decided by the full naval committee which also authorized appointment of another sub-committee to determine whether there should be an inquiry Into charges made by John R. Rathom, , editor of the Providence (R. I.) Journal, that �with the knowledge of Secretary Daniels, many seamen in the navy have been used for most vile and nameless practices in order to entrap Innocent men.�
While the Senate committee was in session Secretary Daniels announced that Admiral Sims would be called on to make good his charges either before the Senate or a naval board.
Present Inquiry to Continue.
Inquiry into Admiral Sims� charges will not be started by the Senate subcommittee until its present investigation of naval decorations is completed, which probably will be within 10 days. That investigation was continued with Admiral Sims concluding his testimony. Rear Admiral Mayo, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet during the war, wil be called later.
The full naval committee met in executive session. Senator Pittman, Democrat of Nevada, sought to have the entire committee conduct the inquiry into Admiral Sims� allegations, but Senator Lodge, Republican, Massachusetts, objected on the ground that the committee was too busy with other pressing matters. Senator Pittman then sought to have a special sub-committee appointed, but his motion was defeated.
Declaring that when all the facts were laid bare the country would be proud of the navy�s record in the war, Mr. Daniels said Admiral Sims �must be required to establish every criticism he has made of the department.�
"When the smoke blows away,� the secretary continued, �I am confident that the people will see that the naval admiinstration has been efficient.�
